In terms of what needs to be done, it may even be "the same" bug, although 982 is about a very long array literal, and this is about a very long array created by a splash. At http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/982, Koichi Sasada said 「すみません，1.9.3 の後の課題とさせて下さい．」, i.e. "sorry, but let's deal with this after 1.9.3". So now may be a good time :-).

Thanks for the confirmation.

I'm not sure "high priority" is the right word. It's always possible to 
work around it.

But it's highly annoying when somebody hits this issue. It's also highly 
counterintuitive: Ruby deals with Arrays of any size automatically, but 
then can't handle the same size in a literal.

So I very much think that 2.0 is a good point to get rid of this 
problem. I'm not sure what's involved in fixing it, but if there's 
something I can contribute, I'll be glad to help.

Regards,    Martin.
